Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch (750Ml)

This Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is crafted by Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky and bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV). It’s an extra-aged bourbon without a specific age statement but typically includes barrels aged between 6 and 8 years. As a Small Batch bourbon, it’s made by blending whiskey from a limited number of barrels, giving it a rich and consistent flavor. The name “1783” pays tribute to the year Evan Williams founded Kentucky’s first distillery on the Ohio River.

Made with Heaven Hill’s traditional recipe of 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley, it has a beautiful golden amber hue. The aroma is warm and inviting with notes of vanilla, butter, sweet corn, caramel, and cinnamon. On the palate, it tastes semi-sweet and oaky, featuring flavors of honey, caramel, vanilla, and spice. The finish is smooth and slightly dry with hints of oak, cinnamon, and a touch of nuttiness.

In 2021 its proof was increased from 86 to 90 and the bottle received a refreshed design. Known for being a high-quality yet affordable bourbon, it has earned multiple awards including the Consumers’ Choice SIP Award for several years. Enjoy it neat, on the rocks, or in classic cocktails like an Old Fashioned or Whiskey Sour.
